This 2002 album is a 2 disc set, the first featuring the bands hits, and the second disc has B Sides. It may have been released to complete a contract with Music For Nations. I usually don’t like greatest hits albums, because if I like the band, I want …

I know that the band’s name is somewhat hard to pronounce (I even heard one time my classmate said, “Cheveches” and I was like, what?”) but really, it’s just pronounced as “Churches”, they’re just probably bad in the spelling department!
But thankfully enough, their music is nowhere near as bad …

You is the opening track of Radiohead’s debut album, Pablo Honey. To begin, as with many of the songs on this record, You has a very grunge sound to it, in my opinion at least, which makes it a track which may be decent in its own regard, but …

Two Corvettes is a song by Animal Collective and is the third track on their third studio release, Campfire Songs. Transitioning out of Doggy, Two Corvettes fluidly opens with a vocal section packed by the acoustic guitar tone that has been present throughout the album thus far. Like the …

What is it with female vocalists thinking that they have to sing every word in the highest possible register? This fact has annoyed me for a long time now and really causes me a lot of frustration when i find symphonic and melodic metal bands that would otherwise be …

Road House was an action adventure film from the late 1980’s which starred Patrick Swayze as a philosophical bouncer named Dalton. This review focuses on the musical soundtrack for this Zen-like movie.

Dancing With Mr. D is a song by The Rolling Stones which appears on their record Goats Head Soup. The track starts off with a fairly laid-back guitar riff from Richards which seems to have a blues feel to it but the drum rhythm sort of gives the song …

This is my favorite song and the best rap and hip hop sounds I have to listen. I love the rap, the supreme melody and how the lyrics are arranged. I love how the song flows, the fast beat, the majority of sounds are coming from drums and piano. …

Your Bats is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their album Embryonic. The track opens up with a guitar playing with a wah-wah effect before the drums and other instrumentation also abruptly and awkward join into the mix. Interesting enough, all of this instrumentation drops out …

I have to admit I had no idea who the music group Boston was before I saw the trailer for the movie, “Men Who Stare At Goats”. Every time I would see the trailer for “Men Who Stare At Goats”, I would hear this catchy …

That day, my cousin brought her most favorite girl-band video and I managed to catch one particular song which caught my interest pretty much and that is Show Me What You Got by The PussyCat Dolls Live in Manchester and London. She wanted me to see which I like …

Jack Tragic & The Unfortunates were punk band from Connecticut, USA, who released full-blown, phenomenal hardcore during the time punk was on its way down. These guys were just about as obscure as they got and seemed to surface a couple years late. Their 1983 single, “I Kill Hippies”/”Mind …

My Apocalypse, the final song on Death Magnetic, should certainly remind listeners of Metallica used to close their records with songs like Damage, Inc. and Dyers Eve, or at least that’s what this song certainly does for me. For those of you who have heard the two aforementioned songs …

This is, without any question, without any shadow of a doubt, my favorite U2 album. I know, U2 has released many good albums, but to me personally this one is the best. And I am ready to defend this album. For, you see, there might actually be a need …

When you have a hit like Dirty Dancing, you just keep trying to do things better, or over again with some little perk to keep people buying. That’s what the Dirty Dancing: The Collector’s Edition CD Set is, a ploy to get people buying. It works, too.

By the time KILLER was released in 1971, Alice Cooper the man had slowly but surely began creating his gothic and spooky character. Gone was the flower child inspired fruit rock and in it’s place a progressively inclined psychedelic hard rock sound that really shows the beginning of the …

There are only a select few songs that I like by Reba McEntire, and that’s simply because she sings very old-fashioned country songs. There is nothing wrong with that, but it isn’t really my style. She has an amazing voice and that really awesome country twang, which is one …

I have been listened to It’s Not Me It’s You by Lily Allen and this is what I have to say. I am sure not many people have heard of Lily Allen, but she did have some music made at least a few years back and for this latest …

Suicide And Redemption, Metallica’s fourth instrumental of their career and penultimate track on Death Magnetic, is similar to The Unforgiven III in the sense that it has some truly brilliant parts but also some parts which just aren’t so good. I’ll start with my complaints against the track. My …

Aria electric guitars are exceptionally good. Considering their cheap prices as compared to Ibanez or Gibson, it comes as a surprise that Aria guitars are quite professional.Recently i purchased an Aria electric guitar (STG 004) for less than 200$. It has 2 single-coil pick-ups and one humbugging pick-up.
This …

In the song Montana off the Apostrophe album Zappa explains his life as if he were a cattle rancher in the state of Montana. The vocals in this song are interesting because Frank utilizes a lot of metaphors like dental floss being compared to rope it’s kind of funny. …

The title song from the CD is also a favorite song of mine. His version is much softer than …

Sugar is a track which appears on System Of A Down’s self-titled debut record. I believe that among the songs on that first record, Sugar is probably the most well known, along with War, because of the music videos made for them. Sugar certainly demonstrates System Of A Down …

Hypnotize and Mesmerize are both part of a double record sort of thing. When you buy both records you can combine the two boxes together for one whole double album. Hypnotize is the album that got me into this band, and is my favorite album out of all of …

Overview —“ Enter Sandman, the second music video ever released by Metallica, comes off of their fifth record, The Black Album, and focuses on the story of a boy and his nightmares. The song itself would have to be one of Metallica’s best known songs because of all the …

It seems to me that the rock song ‘You Belong to the City’ that became popular in the mid 80’s (1985, to be exact) tries to tell something and not just merely describing in a reflective way by using some sort of a second person address (like talking …

Atomic Kitten has all grown up and has taken the pop scene o a more mature and, let’s just say, “un-girl band” level. A far cry from their first album, the girls re-introduce themselves as women, having truly grown musically, stylistically and visually. i’m impressed at how well they …

Golden Memories of Stage & Screen - CD is a four disk set that was released by Reader’s Digest Music. It’s a collector’s edition of original recordings, as it describes itself on the cover, and that is an apt description.
I find it very hard to even skip ahead …

I discovered Melanie Martinez one week ago, when a music site recommended her music to me, and in my astonishing surprise, I was immediately immersed into her child-influenced sound.
Dollhouse is the first song she released off her debut album entitled “Crybaby”.
The song is basically about a faulty family hidden …

Ciara ft. Missy Elliott
“1, 2 Step”
Goodies
LaFace Records
Director: Benny Boom
“1, 2 Step” is Ciara’s follow-up single and music video to “Goodies” off of the album of the same name, “Goodies”. The song is obviously inspired (extremely inspired, I might add) by 1980s electronic music. In the lyrics, Ciara often describes …

I have downloaded every song from Linkin Parks new album “Minutes to Midnight” off of iTunes and even though their new style of music is far from their old I think that this is still a good album. Most of the songs on this newer album are a slower …

Legacy: The Greatest Hits Collection by Boyz II Men is worth to buy. And if you have the luxury of loaning it from anyone at all, then do it. Listen to the tracks inside. They are a whole collection of Boyz II Men there that are truly …

I never heard of Jessie J before this song. When this song came out, I didn’t really want to check it out since I thought Jessi J was another ordinary chick. But then, I keep on seeing this song pop up on my facebook wall. I was like “Wow. …

Overview —“ A Secret Place, a third single released by Megadeth for their seventh record, Cryptic Writings, is a much better track than the previous single, Almost Honest, and quite an improvement. A Secret Place isn’t as interesting as a lot of the tracks off of Megadeth’s earlier records …
